The original stories behind everyone's favorite Christmas ballet
It wasn't until the 1950s that seeing "The Nutcracker" at
Christmastime became an American tradition. But the story itself is
much older and its original intent more complex. This eye-opening
new volume presents two of the tale's earliest versions, both in
new translations: E.T.A. Hoffmann's "Nutcracker and Mouse King"
(1816), in which a young girl is whisked away to the Land of Toys
to help her animated nutcracker defeat the Mouse King, and
Alexandre Dumas's 1845 adaptation, "The Tale of the Nutcracker,"
based on Hoffmann's popular work. Irresistible tales of magic,
mystery, and childhood adventure, these timeless delights and fresh
interpretations about the importance of imagination will captivate
readers of all ages.
